 Ambrish,

 (root(ffe(-1  is an AMI parameter as it would be passed into the
parameters_in string

The second case of multiple parameters with the same name should be
illegal.

Hi Arpad,
Thanks for posting this draft. I have a couple of quick questions about
some of the text on page 4 where you say:

|*              A branch in the .ami file is an "AMI Parameter" if it
|*              contains the leaves Type, Usage, and any of the following
|*              leaves:

So in this example:
(Model_Specific
  (ffe (Description "FFE taps")
    (-1 (Usage In) (Type Float) (Value 0.0) (Description "precursor"))
    (0 (Usage In) (Type Float) (Value 1.0) (Description "main cursor"))
    (1 (Usage In) (Type Float) (Value 0.0) (Description "post-cursor"))
  )
)

is ffe an AMI Parameter or is -1 an AMI parameter?

Also - down the page it is mentioned:

|*              and does not contain another branch.  Multiple leaves
|*              containing the same reserved word are not allowed within
an
|*              AMI Parameter branch.

But what about multiple sub-branches having the same name?
For example:
(Model_Specific
  (Main_Param 
    (Param1 (Usage In) (Type Float) (Value 0.0))
    (Param1 (Usage In) (Type Float) (Value 1.0))
    (Param1 (Usage In) (Type Float) (Value 0.0))
  )
) 

I recently saw this in an .ami file.

We can talk about this during the ATM teleconference call if you want.

Thanks,
Ambrish.

Agenda
======

1) Opens
2) Call for any related patent disclosures
3) Review of ARs:


Arpad:  Update the Typos BIRD draft according to the comments received
        - done

Bob:    Start email discussion on leaf/parameter name interchangeability
        - not done

Arpad:  Finish examples in BIRD 116-118 presentation
        - in progress

Any AR-s?


Old ARs:

Arpad:  Review the documentation (annotation) in the macro libraries.
        - deferred until a demand arises or we have nothing else to do



4)  Typos_Format_Value_Default BIRD draft
    - added "(defined below)" for Default
    - added words to disallow duplicate leaves in the same branch
    - removed the "graceful" stuff
    - moved editorial notes on the bottom to background information


5)  BIRD 116-118
    - Arpad's analog model BIRDs


6a) BIRD 123
    - jitter parameters


6b) BIRD 124
    - dependency table



Remaining Task List items:
==========================

Row 18: What is the ambiguity between Format and Text Strings?
        - waiting for an answer

Row 21: According to the BNF, the Format = Table syntax is invalid.
        - If Format is removed, this s not a problem, but if Format
          is there the problem still exists.  Do we need to fix this?
          - we will address this when talking about Table

Row 22: The syntax for a leaf is:
        (Row 22 in Task List)
           <leaf>:   ( <parameter name> whitespace <value list> )
           So in a Table which is written like this:   (-50 -0.1 1e-35),
           -50 is actually a parameter name, i.e. a string, not a value.
        -deprecate Table back to List?
        - we will address this when talking about Table

Row 23/24: Fix the two tables to reflect what is in the text
           - need someone to volunteer to write a BIRD
             - Bob agreed to do this after the Asian Summit

Row 25: Define relationship between Type and Format
        - discuss Walter's suggestions
        - need someone to volunteer to write a BIRD

Row 26: What is Row 26 all about?  Is it the same as Row 47?
        - waiting for an answer

Row 33: Is AMI_Init restricted to change first column of impulse_matrix
        only?
        - this needs to be discussed

Row 35: Clarify questions about impulse response
        - this needs to be discussed

Row 38: Clarify Fangyi's questions on Usage

Row 46/47: Remove certain parameters and keywords
           - this needs to be discussed



Thanks,

Arpad
